What’s your true biological age? Take control of your longevity
With our scientifically validated biological age test, you’ll learn how your body is aging at the cellular level and how to actively extend your healthspan.
Your physical age may differ from your actual age
At AYUN, we offer a cutting-edge test to determine your biological age, powered by TruDiagnostic technology – an advanced method for epigenetic analysis. This test provides you with precise insights into your cellular aging process and empowers you to take proactive steps for your health and longevity.
Your chronological age – the number of years you’ve lived – tells only part of your health story. Your biological age, however, reveals exactly how your body is aging at the cellular level. Two people of the same chronological age can have significantly different biological ages due to genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors.
Our biological age test evaluates key metrics to provide a comprehensive overview of your biological aging by combining multiple state-of-the-art second and third-generation epigenetic clocks. This allows you to identify potential health risks before symptoms appear and receive personalized recommendations to positively influence your aging process.
Longevity Check-up: Biological age
The AYUN Longevity Check-up takes approximately 5 hours. The Extended Check-up includes the biological age test, an essential step to understand how your body ages at the cellular level. This step is completed during the blood draw and takes 20 minutes.

Epigenetic Age
Our biological age test uses the OMICm Age Clock, developed in collaboration with Harvard University, and considered the most precise algorithm for determining biological age. By analyzing DNA methylation patterns, we can determine your biological age and show how environmental and lifestyle factors influence your gene activity. This "epigenetic clock" is one of the most accurate indicators of true biological aging. It examines specific points in your genome to reveal whether your body is aging faster or slower than your chronological age suggests.
Aging Rate
The DunedinPace clock measures how quickly your body is aging compared to your chronological age. Aging rates can vary by up to 40% among individuals of the same chronological age. This information is crucial for developing personalized intervention strategies.
Telomere Length
Telomeres are structures at the ends of your chromosomes that shorten slightly with each cell division. Their length is considered an important biomarker for cellular aging and overall health. Shorter telomeres may be linked to an increased risk of age-related diseases. Measuring your telomere length is one of the most proven methods for estimating aging, providing valuable insights into your cellular health and making it possible to undergo targeted measures.
Health of Biological Systems
Our biological age test includes the SYMPHONYAge clock, developed at Yale University. It uses 130 biomarkers across 11 different organ systems and analyzes various body systems at the molecular level to determine an age score. The focus is on the immune system, which plays a critical role in resilience, the metabolism, essential for energy production and detoxification, and the cardiovascular system. The epigenetic markers provide insights into the activity of these systems, offering a holistic assessment of your health. This cross-system analysis helps us identify potential weaknesses early and address them effectively.
Risk Factors for Chronic Diseases
Our biological age test provides insights into health risks before clinical symptoms appear. We examine specific epigenetic signatures associated with various age-related risks. This early detection enables the development of preventive strategies aimed at extending your longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Longevity Check-ups
At what age do you recommend the Longevity Check-up?
In general, a Longevity Check-up is recommended for anyone over the age of 25. The earlier you know what your individual health risks are, the longer you can benefit from small adjustments. But it is never too late to take charge of your health and optimize it in a targeted way, i.e. even at an advanced age, there is still a lot of potential for optimization.
How long does a Longevity Check-up take?
A Longevity Check-up lasts about 4-5 hours depending on the package chosen. It starts with a 30-45 minute anamnesis interview with one of our doctors, followed by an ECG, blood draw, and Dexa scan. You'll then have a brief snack break before completing the 1.5 hour session with our sports scientist. Afterwards, wearables such as the HRV monitor and the CGM are attached and set up.
What do I need to bring for my Longevity Check-up?
You should arrive fasted (empty stomach, water allowed) and bring your sports clothes for the sports and endurance test. Showers and towels are available.
How long does it take to get the results of my check-up?
This depends on the Longevity Check-up you have chosen. The time between the test and receiving your results depends on external laboratories and the time our team of doctors, nutritionists and sports scientists need to evaluate your results. The indicative time is as follows:
- Essential Longevity Check-up: 1-2 weeks
- Complete Longevity Check-up: 4-5 weeks (due to the DNA risk analysis)
- Extended Longevity Check-up: 4-5 weeks (due to the DNA risk analysis and DNA aging clock)
Do I have to come to your clinic to discuss my results?
The discussion of the results usually takes place at our clinic. If you prefer, the conversation can also take place via video conference.
The same applies to the nutrition counseling, which can take place either on-site or via video conference.
What makes you different from other check-ups?
Our focus is not just on identifying diseases at an early stage, but rather on understanding individual predispositions and determining what each individual needs to stay healthy in the long term. We don't look at individual values, but combine all the results into a holistic picture. We collect scientifically validated parameters for Longevity and combine them into a personalized, preventative Longevity Report.
Who performs the Longevity Check-ups?
We are a medical institution, so all check-ups are performed by trained and medically educated personnel. We employ doctors, medical assistants and sports scientists in our clinic.
What is the difference between the Essential Longevity Check-up and the Complete Longevity Check-up?
All our check-ups focus on longevity. The Essential Longevity Check-up contains what we consider to be absolutely necessary for a Longevity Check-up and is suitable for people who want to get a first impression or as a follow-up check-up if you already know your genetic risks.
The Complete Longevity Check-up includes, in addition to further blood values, such as homocysteine, the DNA risk analysis, which we recommend to do once in a lifetime. The DNA risk analysis helps us to make even more targeted recommendations. We only test for those changes for which we know how we can influence them well and specifically.
In addition, continuous blood sugar monitoring for 10 days is included, with accompanying nutritional counseling for evaluation and interpretation. The blood sugar response to different foods can vary greatly from person to person, which is why these measurements can be used to provide even more targeted nutritional recommendations.
What is the difference between the Complete and Extended Longevity Check-up?
The first difference is the number of laboratory values analyzed. The Complete Longevity Check-up includes 64 laboratory values and the Extended Longevity Check-up 69 laboratory values. In addition, the Extended Longevity Check-up also includes a stress measurement (both during the day and at night) and a DNA aging clock to determine your biological age.
How are the findings evaluated?
Our team of doctors, nutritionists and sports scientists analyze the findings holistically, prioritize and make appropriate recommendations.
We compare the results with comparative values from your age and gender group. Our goal is for our customers to perform significantly better than the average, because the average person develops chronic diseases over the course of their life that significantly affect their quality of life.
Others
Everyone knows what is healthy: exercise, nutrition and sleep. What else do you offer?
That's right, healthy eating, regular exercise and enough sleep are the cornerstones of longevity. General recommendations are certainly suitable for the masses, but when it comes to looking at the individual, many individualized recommendations can be made depending on the individual disposition constellation. Our goal is to achieve the greatest possible health effect for the individual with the least possible effort. To do that, much more precise recommendations are useful and possible.
Can I bring my child with me?
Our services are only available to persons of legal age. However, you are welcome to bring a child with you as a companion. No childcare service is available.
Do you also offer payment by installments?
We're working on standardizing installment payment options in our checkout process. In the meantime, if you'd like to use an installment plan, feel free to give us a call, and we'll find a solution together.
